The panel presented the theme “Indians on the Move is the Current Indigenous Movement”, through the speech of two important names in the history of struggle of the Brazilian indigenous movement, leaders Aílton Krenak and Álvaro Tukano. In addition to this meeting, several other activities open to the public were carried out in parallel programming to the exhibition, including an indigenous rap show  of the MC Brô group, made up of Guarani from the state of São Paulo.
